I Rep That West is a single by American rapper Ice Cube from his ninth album, I Am the West.
Ice Cube has performed the single several times, particularly on the Lopez Tonight and Jimmy Kimmel Live! shows.
Directed by Gabriel Hart, the video was shot in Santa Monica, and several places in Los Angeles including Memorial Coliseum and at the Hollywood Sign. Ice Cube goes back in time in the Wild, Wild West times. The video features Ice Cube driving a Lowrider, while his sons Doughboy, OMG and WC make cameo appearances. The video has had over 10 million YouTube views.
In the line "Niggas around the world that think they wanna bang, don't get your ass caught up like Lil Wayne", Ice Cube is referring to Wayne's alleged confrontation by rapper (and rival Crip gang member) 40 Glocc.
